This is an event of inclusion and we all play an important role in this food system, any support you can give goes to marketing, branding, maintenance of the mobile market and the increased access of our folks to a viable, affordable, healthy shopping & educational outlet.

Event Details

From conflict can come progress. On February 16th we create a platform of inclusion, celebration, discussion and action. Join us for a multidiscplinary approach to discuss food and food access effect on the South Bronx (and beyond).

The South Bronx is a community through which millions of pounds of food arrive everyday but residents have little access to. On that day we will come together in the spirit of progress, action and resiliency. We will explore the themes that create our current reality and then celebrate those who engage, dream big and move forward!

It is a day of talks, visioning, art, music and of course great food and drink.

Don't worry if you can't make it, we will be livestreaming the event.

Check back often as we add more info about our speakers, panelists, muscians and artist.

Confirmed so far:

Karen Washington - Urban Farmer, President of New York City Coalition of Community Gardners and Co-founder of Black Urban farmers and Gardners (BUGs)
